This and That

Well, Drake is sleeping so I figured I would take advantage and blog. Here are a few things:

1. We did get our BOB! It is wonderful, amazing, fabulous...and too big for our son at this point in his life. Bummer. I was so excited to use it. I can put him in it and go for walks, but if I were to jog with him in it, he would be jostled all around. So, we must wait.
2. I registered for the Peachtree Road Race. Last year, the AJC had online registration. It was HORRIBLE. I was online for 3 hours trying to register 2 people. I kept getting a message that said the website was experiencing a billion people at once and they weren't prepared for that. Not prepared?! Do they know how big this race is? Well, this year, I almost missed the registration until my sis reminded me. I was psyched to go to Wal-mart and pick up the AJC because surely they wouldn't commit the colossal mistake of doing it online again. They learn from their mistakes, right? NOPE. It was online again and again I got the same stupid message. When are they going to learn?
3. I went for my first run last night since August. My excuse from August to December was "I'm way pregnant. I can't run." My excuse from January until last night was "I think running will hurt my milk supply." Well, I bit the bullet and ran. All the websites I read and all of my friends who are runners and mothers said running would hurt my supply. I trust them. And, if it does, I have a freezer full of milk to last for at least 1-1 1/2 months. I hope it doesn't though. Formula is WAY too expensive.
4. Every time I finally get Drake to sleep (albeit in his swing), Toby, our puppy, decides he has to bark at whatever is outside. Today, it was the wind. I mean, this dog barks at anything when the timing is just right. Ask him to speak and he looks at you like you're an idiot. Go figure.

Well, that's all for now. Thank God for naps and sweet baby boys!

Just the two of us...

Today is the first day I have been alone with Drake. All alone. I'm a little nervous! I am used to having Charles here with me. But, he is at a wrestling match all day long and I'm here...by myself with Drake...all day long. Deep breath. So far, we're doing well. Oh yeah. Toby, our boxer puppy, is here too...this should make for an interesting day. He wants to play, Drake wants to eat, and I've got to work...I need to get used to this though. Starting Tuesday, we'll be making a habit out of being just the two...er, three of us!

Blow it out your ears...

...steam, that is. Why is it when I want to get things done, something has to stop me? All I want is a clean house. But no. I can't clean with chemicals. But if I don't do it, it won't get done. So, am I putting my baby's life in jeopardy just so my shower floor won't be pink? I hope not. Pink shower floors are disgusting. So, on top of not being able to use chemicals (but doing so in moderation), our crazy dog thinks its fun to jump on me. And not on my legs or anything like that. He's just big and clumsey enough to reach my belly. So, now I'm freaking out that our baby is going to be born with paw prints all over him/her. I joke about that, but I'm really concerned. But, apparently I'm the only one who will play with the dog. Then, when he does something wrong, I'm the one who gets to yell at him. Then I'm the one who feels bad. So, after I get finished crying about my baby with paw prints and my pink shower floor and my nasty, gross house that just gets grosser, and my dog that just won't listen, I'm going to take a shower (in the clean bathroom) and try to relax. The last thing I need is to go into labor earlier than my baby needs. It feels good to vent.

This and that

It's been about a week since I last posted. Busy week. Toby was back to his normal self on Tuesday...jumping and playing and completely ignoring any command given to him. On Tuesday, we had our Cross Country Banquet. Shane's Rib Shack catered and we brought home about 10 lbs. of pork, 20 chicken tenders, a million brownies, and bread. We are still eating off of that. Who would have ever thought we'd get sick of Shane's? Our team gave us over $300 in gift cards. We were truly blown away! It was such a blessing!

Not much happened on Wednesday, but it was hump day!

Thursday, we had another baby shower! Got lots of fun things like diapers, wipes, toys, handmade blankets, a boppy pillow and cover, etc...FABULOUS!!!!

Friday, my hubby participated in a flag football game that ended not so great for him. He always says his "hips don't lie!" Well, his hips didn't lie. Apparently they bobbed and weaved one way and his feet bobbed and weaved the other way and he fell on his shoulder. We don't know if it is separated or dislocated. It's not broken, thank God! I got to baby him on Friday night :)

Saturday, he babied me. He took me shopping and we got a ton of stuff off our registry. Now, all we need is the post-it-note sized list I made. Sure beats 16 pages of registry stuff. We are very excited abou the great deals we found. LOVE BURLINGTON BABY DEPOT!!!! If you haven't been there, I definitely suggest it.
